I'm sorry I understand those words not in those orders though, are you saying the soul is an olde timey anti-black racial slur or that it's inherently scary?

A spook is a pretty niche concept from philosophy, I believe coined by Max Stirner

It basically means a social construct that is being taken as if it is a real factual thing instead of something made up?

I am bad at explaining stuff but I hope you get the gist of it.

spook

could also indicate ghost or intelligence operative. I don't assume they were going racist with it.

Spook = ghost (aka a soul unhoused a living body)
