  From  THE  DEVIL'S  DICTIONARY  ((C)1911  Released  April  15  1993)  [devils]: 
 
  SPOOKER,  n.  A  writer  whose  imagination  concerns  itself  with 
  supernatural  phenomena,  especially  in  the  doings  of  spooks.  One  of 
  the  most  illustrious  spookers  of  our  time  is  Mr  William  D.  Howells, 
  who  introduces  a  well-credentialed  reader  to  as  respectable  and 
  mannerly  a  company  of  spooks  as  one  could  wish  to  meet  To  the  terror 
  that  invests  the  chairman  of  a  district  school  board,  the  Howells 
  ghost  adds  something  of  the  mystery  enveloping  a  farmer  from  another 
  township.
