This is similar to what happens in UO, even down to the OoooOOOooooo, though there was a skill called 'Spirit Speak' that allowed living people to interact with the dead, and one with high enough healing skill could even use bandages (UO equivalent to healing kit) to Raise dead.
Also, the ghosts can move you weren't immobile, but you would drop a corpse that was fully lootable (unless you had bound gear, which was rare, or if you had the new account grace period). You would have to run as a ghost to find a priest to resurrect you. If you were a heavy PvPer and 'grey' status, they would not raise you for about 15 minutes, if you were 'permared' from killing too many other players (3 in a week or something), they wouldn't res you for like 72 hours of in game time meaning you NEEDED another player, or sat on the account for 72 hours just to get a res.
I played UO back in the day myself. This is exactly what I was going for.
Minus the spirit speak and bandaging of ghosts, but you get the general idea.

I remember one time there was a dude in fugue who tried to recruit people into service of Bane.
That one was fun.

I've leveled up a Toon in the Fugue, through RP XP gain, thus bypassing any XP loss when finally talking to Myrkul!
Granted, when my Toon died it was only 300 XP short of leveling, and it did take about 2 hours of sitting in the Fugue waiting for others to show up to RP with, but...it made use of the resources available at the time!!!
