I've come to accept the whole "creatures in the woods" thing as a MacGuffin (a plot device that motivates the characters and advances the story, but has little other relevance to the story itself).
I believe the true plot involved how the elder's were using fear to keep everyone secluded in the the village and away from the dangers in the outside world.
