I came here to say the same thing - this behaviour is readily explained by a pilot wave formulation of QM, and requires no spookiness. Increasing number of physicists are re-evaluating Bohm and De Broglie's work - I for one think we've been down a 60 year dead-end, which has yielded models, but no plausible mechanism.
It can be - did a graduate paper on the topic some years ago, looking at it through the Dirac sea - and appears others are taking an interest in the topic too - here's a nice paper which gives a good overview:
