Annotation: Spukhafte Fernwirkung.
According to you; did Einstein use the word "spooky" in the sense of "bizarre/strange", or in the sense of "frightening/scary" ?
I understand it mostly as the former, but with a tinge of the latter. The key idea, I suppose, is "supernatural," i.e., unphysical. To a physicist, the idea that any physics requires theory or explanation outside the usual bounds of physics is scary in the sense that it calls accepted foundations into question.
