[He tilts his tilts, organizing his thoughts before he speaks]
What it exactly is hotly debated by theologists, so I am going to give the general layman's ideal: The Soul is basically considered the divine spark that the Almighty had breathed into the earth from which he made man, and is responsible for essentially making humans human, their emotions and persona, but also importantly - their free will, the ability to chose how their fate, and to choose between good, less good, and evil.
If we go with the idea that the dead are not gone when they die, it could be that their souls are trapped somewhere.
