Ah, well when used in the context of the FBI or government spook means:

Agents or people involved in espionage
Agents or people involved in military intelligence

'Scary' or 'scared' are words that people do not like to use because they imply 'cowardice'. Nobody wants that label.
So, when events happened that could not be easily explained*people substituted the word 'Spooked' for 'Scared'.*'Spooked' was acceptable because it implied being 'shocked', 'startled' or 'surprised', which*is not the same as*'scared'. So, when*something happened and you could not see*who did it, *it was said to be done by 'Spooks'.
*
Spies are supposed*to infiltrate and perform their duties while remaining*'unseen'.*Hence, the name 'Spooks'.*

Webster's New World Dictionary defines spook as an undercover agent or spy.
*
The online etymology dictionary documents the noun usage begining in 1942.
*
That same dictionary indicates the root word* is Dutch (1801) spooc or German Spuk*meaning ghost or apparition. Now this makes since since spys or undercover agents are not suppose to found out while doing their mission. They are suppose to be able to get into enemy territory unseen do their mission and get out undetected like a ghost OR remain undetected for YEARS while sending vital information to their home country while in enemy territory.

In popular culture over the years, spook has meant an undercover agent.
