Native German speakers. spukhafte vs spukhaft?

Can anyone who speaks German natively (or very well) explain which is the difference between spukhafte and spukhaft?

I'm going for the english word 'Spooky'. I know Einstein famously used this word to describe quantum entanglement. Its translated as 'spooky'. But does it have the same 'feel' as the english word? Dark, menacing, creepy?

Ist eine spukhafte Nacht. It is a spooky night Oder... Spukhaft - spooky if just used alone.

If it has an E on the end of it, it's generally an adjective modifying a feminine noun or a plural of any gender (depending on the article that preceded the adjective - got that?). If it's a verb with an E on the end, it's generally the first person conjugation.

But to answer the original question. Both words mean the same thing, just an extra letter at the end, depending I how it's used. One word is not creepier than the other.
