The face emerging from behind.

[tufguy]

"I saw an old photo which was taken in 1919. In this photo a lot of men were there. But a face was emerging out from the behind of a man. The face was of a person who was already dead and was burried on the same day this photo was taken.

Please check.

"In this photo were a lot of men."
"...emerging from behind one man."
"...dead and had been buried on the same day..."

In this photo there were a lot of men.
I think the sentence is also OK with "there". Why use "this photo" for something you saw in the past and not "the photo"?

In the photo there were a lot of men.

I don't see how "a face" can emerge(come out) from behind one of the men in the photo and one who was dead and buried, unless it is a bizarre paranormal occurrence.

It was a ghost face.

It might work with a spot of artistic licence, but factually it is on thin ice.

No, I have given discription of a real photo that was taken back in 1919. It was also investigated whether the photo was morphed but it wasn't. However at that time there were no applications or softwares to morph it.

Is it possible to post the photo here?

That link goes to a badly laid-out homepage of a website on which I can see no such photo. The site has more than its fair share of spelling errors too.

Yes that was a wrong link. I have shared a new link try that.

Can we also say "It was emerging from behind me"? Is it correct?

There's an even more dead dude on the other side - a little more decomposed though.

You could only say it was emerging behind you if you are the man in that picture.

I see nothing on the other side. Could you explain?

 

[Raymott]

I don't believe you see nothing there. Do you see at least that some bits are lighter, and some darker than others?

Good imagination!
