I wholeheartedly disagree that this story ever went too far into the paranormal. The little "ant" people are an original concept and are never explained away as aliens, or demons, or anything conventional. They offer just enough of a hint that there is much more going on, without killing the mystique and in fact only adding to it, especially since they never do anything cheesy like reveal thousands of fangs or start eating someone's flesh.

Granted, maybe they killed the "John" below our John, but we don't know that. We don't know if they're dangerous at all. Just their being there, and not being human, adds a lot of amazing lore.
