Ooh, are those still around? If not, I wish they were. Analog has a long history that included the pulp phase, but I think they take themselves rather seriously these days, which means they wouldn't want stories by women with such a purely psychological focus. It's definitely more Twilight Zone than... whatever the Platonic ideal of "hard scifi" is.
I think in terms of style the second one would be a fit for the Thrilling Detective type of pulp magazine; a beta reader specifically said so. It needs some work, though, as it was written for a romance oriented anthology (that folded) in a hurry, so the mystery is barely there.
By the way, what happened to that story you were posting on Wattpad? Time and other interests got in the way? 'Cause that happens.
