This is a very confusing one. There are giant ants? And they can become ghosts? With hammers? WTH?
In Japanese Folklore, the "Oari" is the dead spirit of a giant ant who carries around a big, wooden hammer to hit you with.pic.twitter.com/dRy9vvW85y

At least shoes have a soul. I’ll get my kimono.

Makes me think of the many moe characters in anime who wield impossibly gigantic hammers.

'Dead spirit'?
so at one point the giant ant wielding a wooden hammer was alive 
-
Seems to me it was probably just a regular random ant, going by other Japanese stories of this nature. Almost anything can become a kami or yokai (god or demon)
