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.
