You're thinking too literally here. It's not physical things. This is sort of hard to explain but i'll try.
The Power Source for Ludibrium is the Time Sphere. Don't know/care how it generates energy, but basically it's drawing power from somewhere and it started malfunctioning. When it starts malfunctioning, it ends up ripping a hole between the dimensions in an event referred to in the Monster Book as the "Dimensional Schism". This causes a lot of trouble in both dimensions - Alishar, who is supposed to protect the border, ends up trapped over here; Papulatus brings the time component in with his experiments on travelling back in time. This causes monsters like Spirit Viking and Ghost Pirate to be pulled up from the past of the other dimension, and they are simply confused and scared victims of this event as well. Some of the other monsters in Deep Ludi were once clocktower maintenance workers who were transformed by radiation, while Phantom Watches were prisoners equally affected. The effects of this event reach far out from Ludi, though; they brought the books in Helios Library to life, changing KFT and may have been the source that drew the Grays to Omega Sector.
Basically, the whole set of quests in Ludi is aimed at repairing the crack in the dimensional border, stopping the effects of the Dimensional Schism, and setting things right in Ludus Lake.
