In my opinion, the story is just meh and the lack of explanation just makes it even less scary.

"Sometimes I like to leave the final details of a story a little ambiguous. I'll let you have your own ideas about what exactly happened."

In my opinion that is a pitfall that many authors fall into. It makes the reader assume that the writer was too lazy or didn't care enough to make an appropriate ending and opted to just ask the reader to finish the story in their mind.
