So what you're saying is something is mounted on to a directory that had data in it before the mount. How do I see the data being hidden without unmounting the point?
You can't. You must unmount. You should be able to do this from single user mode if the file system cannot be unmounted under multiuser mode (eg /usr, /var, etc.). Usually other mount points can be unmounted, but depends on what is running on the system at the time. Unmounting /home would require that you kick all users off for example, unmounting /var/www would require stopping apache, etc.
