But, the real question about how they know this is no longer why would they fear it, but why would they even suspect it?

No, not what would happen if a monster absorbed a human soul, but rather, how they knew monsters could absorb human souls in the first place. Remember, monsters can't absorb monster souls, and humans can't absorb human souls. So what would convince them that the monster race has the power to absorb a human soul? There was no evidence that they can, and no reason why they should be able to, if even a human can't do it, and monsters can't even absorb their own souls!
