rather than Energybending, it looks like Amon is permanently locking a chi point that stops people from Bending. It is similar to locking a fist in Fist Of The North Star, or when Aang couldn't unblock his seventh chakra (he did, later though) because lightning had sealed it.

The whole 'spirit' thing is likely to be a popular lie to get people running in terror.
