Reports of seeing an apparition of a deceased parent are very common. Let us look at some examples I found in old newspapers.
In the account below a scientist says he saw an apparition of his mother, not just once, but a dozen times.
Below we have a very dramatic account of an apparition witnessed by a very sick child's father and the child's stepmother. The apparition reportedly had an appearance matching that of the child's deceased mother.

Below is an account of a daughter seeing both an apparition of her father who died 15 years, and also (it seems) the apparition of her mother who she did not know was dead. There is a remarkable aspect of confirmation in which a Mr. Lee (apparently the mother's second husband) goes to check on the mother, and finds that she has died when the daughter saw the apparition of her.
The same account (with a few additional details) is told in the account below:

Below we have a named witness testifying in court that she saw a father's apparition, who spoke with her, telling her that a visitor to her home had stolen a ring:
You can read the account here:
Talaat Pasha was the Grand Vizier of the Ottoman Empire during the notorious Armenian genocide around 1915. Pasha was the leader more responsible for that genocide than any other. In 1921 Pasha was assassinated by Soghomon Tehlirian. Tehlirian had lost his mother and brother in the genocide. As the newspaper article below tells us, Soghomon Tehlirian said that he saw an apparition of his mother, saying, "You know Talaat is here, but you remain indifferent. You cannot be, my son." Tehlirian said this inspired him to kill Talaat Pasha. Tehlirian was found not guilty.

Below is another account of someone seeing a parent's apparition:
On page 105 of the April 1934 edition of The International Psychic Gazette, which you can read here, Gladys Osborne Leonard states this about seeing the apparition of her mother before she had learned through normal means that her mother was dead.
"About that time I went to stay at a town twenty to thirty
miles away. In the early morning of woke up, and I saw my
mother distinctly. Next day I received a telegram
saying she had passed on between 9.30 the previous
night and 2.30 that morning. She had been unconscious from 9.30 and the doctor said she was dead at 2.30. I saw her with my eyes open. Something— I don’t know what— awakened me, and I saw her with her hands folded across her breast, as if she were suspended over my bed and looking down at me.
She looked as if she were ten years younger than
when I bad last seen her. She looked at me very
kindly. When I went to see her body her bauds
were folded across her breast, and her expression was
just the same as I had seen in the night."
