    by Nicole Diaz We had just moved into our new home in New York when my daughter, like she'd discovered a new world, excitedly told me, "Dad, I saw a finger on the wall!" I didn't believe such a strange thing could happen. I quickly followed my daughter into the room to check. What she pointed out to me was actually a fingerprint.
