An Interdimensional Game of Tag:

A rock of unknown origin that has the words "you're It!" engraved on it. When a person under the age of 30 touches it, they become part of the 'game.' They get blipped into another dimension(s), presumably to 'tag' another person or entity, and are then transported back. A problem occurs because they do not stop being a part of the game, and of course, they can get tagged. This results in many strange creatures entering our world at random. The anomalous properties on a subject end after they have aged over 30. It is impossible to tell who is part of the 'game' until someone or something from an alternate dimension tries to tag them, the results of which vary from unproblematic to the destruction of entire towns. The central narrative is about the D-Class used for most of the experiments and the Researcher overseeing said experiments. The back and forth through exploration logs start out as professional but quickly becomes more personal as the D-class travels through multiple dimensions and the Researcher who ends up acting as a guide and voice of reason for the D-class

Silent Chuch:

A seemingly normal Catholic church with a sign on the front door that reads "Prayer is in session, speak no evil." If entered by any other means other than the front door (ie window, backdoor) subjects will only view an abandoned and neglected interior. However, upon entering the front doors they will view an interior far larger and grander than what should be possible for the original dimensions of the building. The church is endless, almost oppressively quiet, and at first glance, empty. When moving more than 3 meters away from the point of entry, the door disappears leaving subjects panicked. While walking further into the church, subjects will find that the pews are in fact not empty, but sparsely populated with stone statues, heads bowed in prayer. What the subjects don't know is that anything they do that produces noise allows them to move. Every cough, every sneeze, every step, every shuffle allows the entities to move closer. The amount they move is proportional to the sound produced, but due to the acoustic of the building every sound made is amplified. Central Narrative is about the Pagan witches that were burned and tortured in the church in Salem Witch Trials style. Nothing I'm sure hasn't been done before but I'm very much going for The Autopsy of Jane Doe in that the article starts as one thing that seems concrete but quickly unravels into a mess of questions. Most of which are left unanswered and for the reader to theorize about.

Like crystal, the vibrations of sound make enough energy to move the creature
Quartz is piezoelectric, so it gets vibrated by sound, generating electricity which powers the thing
The more noise you make, the longer it can move
so the anomalous aspect would be the /amplification/ of the sounds into enough energy for the entity to actively be able to run something down
And the little dangling crystals hanging off? Sharp as razors
Maybe the first discovery was a person selling the statues for profit
