Somewhere deep in cyberspace, where reality blurs into fiction and the living greet the dead, there are ghosts.
They live in a virtual graveyard without tombstones or flowers. They drift among the shadows of the people they used to be, and the pieces they left behind.
Allison Bauer left rainbows: Reds, yellows and blues, festooned across her MySpace profile in a collage of colour. Before her corpse was pulled from the depths of an Oregon gorge on May 9, where police say she leapt to her death, she unwittingly wrote her own epitaph.
"I love colour, Pure Colour in rainbow form, And I love My friends," the 20-year-old wrote under "Interests" on her profile. "And I love to Love, I care about everyone so much you have no idea."
Now her page fills a plot on www.MyDeathSpace.com, a website that archives the pages of deceased MySpace members.
Behold a community spawned from twin American obsessions: Memorialising the dead and peering into strangers' lives. Anyone with internet access can submit a death to the site, which currently lists nearly 2,700 deaths and receives more than 100,000 hits per day.
