Things aren't unfalsifiable simply because you want them to be or you feel they are too vague. They are unfalsifiable because they predict every outcome of an experiment. Vagueness is measured by this fact alone. If you want to claim souls are unfalsifiable, you have to show how they predict every outcome (which they don't).
If souls are claimed to be responsible for giving life to things, for example, and they're supposed to go to heaven or hell after death, that is sufficient to falsify souls. An experiment which can medically resurrect someone after a day or two, shows that either souls can be pulled out of heaven and hell against God's will (which religion doesn't teach) or else a body can be alive without a soul, falsifying this definition of souls.
Souls would be unfalsifiable if, despite our experiment, they predicted that a person can be alive with and without a soul (which they don't)
