I've chosen this statue because it intrigued me by the name.

Next to Klaipeda Castle Museum and thechain bridge you can discover sculpture of a ghost which is climbing out of the water,&nbsp;through the embankment and is holding a lantern in his left hand.

I hope you will visit my city town, next year

The sculpture of the black ghost recalls an old legend. It was said that in 1595 one of the Klaipėda‘s&nbsp;castle guards, Hans von Heidi suddenly saw a ghost…&nbsp;

The mystical guest warned that city might face “ a shortage of grain and timber” Having said this, the ghost retreated back into the frog.
