Exiled cards that might return to the battlefield or any other zone should be kept in separate piles to keep track of their respective ways of returning. Exiled cards that may have an impact on the game due to their own abilities (such as cards with haunt) or the abilities of the cards that exiled them should likewise be kept in separate piles.

Haunt

Haunt is a triggered ability. “Haunt” on a permanent means “When this permanent is put into a graveyard from the battlefield, exile it haunting target creature.” “Haunt” on an instant or sorcery spell means “When this spell is put into a graveyard during its resolution, exile it haunting target creature.”

702.55b

Triggered abilities of cards with haunt that refer to the haunted creature can trigger in the exile zone.

A "nonwhite nonblack" creature is a creature that's neither white nor black. It can be any other color or combination of colors, or it can be colorless.

If you can't choose a nonwhite nonblack creature to target when the haunted creature is put into a graveyard, or if the target becomes illegal, you don't get a token.
