At the northern end of the Uniwersytecki bridge in Wroclaw, you might just miss this creepy hand that appears to be reaching out from between the stones that make up the bridge. As Wroclaw is said to be one of the most haunted cities in Poland, this hand may be connected to one of its many ghost stories.

But very little is known about this concrete hand or the artist who created it. It appears to have been in this spot between the bricks since at least 2017, but the exact installation date is unknown.
