Unless we can actually learn anything about the supernatural, I don't see what relevance it has.
We don't know what it wants, if anything. We don't know how to communicate with it. We can't stop it doing things. We can't do anything to it.
Until we learn something about it, it's a ghostly background figure that we just have to accept is there (or not). When we do learn something about it, hey presto, it's not supernatural anymore. And so it goes on.
Waving about a storybook does not count as "knowing about the supernatural". It counts as a story with magical sounding elements.
