Spook damping is the damping used in AGX Dynamics and is the time in seconds a constraint have to fulfill its violation.

Generally, the unit of a certain property can also be seen in the Unreal Editor in the tooltip text. This is displayed by hovering the mouse cursor over the property of interest.
