Ghost or spy (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

spook

This clue is a double definition.

'ghost' is the first definition.
(I know that ghost can be written as spook)

'spy' is the second definition.
(spook can informally mean a spy)

(Other definitions for spook that I've seen before include "Startle - spy" , "Enterprise propels him" , "Ghost - US spy" , "Frighten - haunt - spy" , "Ghost, spectre" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
