Well, it's weird and not weird at the same time. Doyle's Holmes character always looked for rational solutions to problems/mysteries. Even the late Holmes stories did not deviate from this. But in much of Doyle's other late writings (even the Lost World series) and in his obsessive pursuit of spiritualism and faeries, he personally wandered into Lovecraft's domain.

I feel that the great detective would have chided Doyle on his gullibility. But I have no idea how he would react to the "un-nameable".
