I've noticed a few times where closing prices on StockFetcher, and other products, were not in sync with closing prices in other products traders might use when doing historical analysis using these products.

Let's look at SPWR for an example. On 8/25/20 StockFetcher had the close at 8.70, TradingView at 8.69, MarketTrendSignal at 13.275, VectorVest at 13.28 and Ally Bank had the close at 7.35. Then on 9/24/20 all five products had the close at 10.14.

Can anyone explain how this even possible?

I'm inclined to go with the majority and believe the lower prices were closer to being correct but when doing historical analysis a 50% difference in price, on any given day, that basically vanishes when all five products become identical, within a month, is cause for concern. It also brings the accuracy of historical data into question, at least in my simple mind.

Has anyone ever see this before?

SPWR split on 8/26/20.
It's not uncommon to see price differentials when platforms do updates/adjustments for splits.

Split: "1527 for 1000" ...
That was a crazy one! .
No wonder you were getting all those wacky prices.
