Ok guys, here's the deal. My friend had contacted this "GT" guy with The Ghost Tracker Crew, also Ghost Tracker TV on a local network. We were under the impression by him that there was absolutely no charge for his services.

We have had another local society in our place of business before with no problems or hidden fees. When "GT" showed up to begin setting up their equipment for their investigation and production, my friend was only then informed of their "commercial slot fee" of $500 to air that episode on the network. My friend, obviously had not had $500 so they were able to "work it out" to a cheaper time slot?????

Well my friend went through with it anyway, not really thinking about it. They went on with their "investigation" of our premises. Upon completion, they said they would be in contact with us with their findings.

Well, surprise surprise, quite a few months go by, no contact. So we had tried to call him and his crew with no such luck.....months go by...still no contact!! ALSO, no episode on their network WRDQ 27 in Orlando.....

So we contacted the network and "No I'm sorry we have no records of a show at that location being aired" And here we sit.....screwed out of our money and didn't even get our exposure as promised......I WOULD NOT TRUST GT OR HIS CREW for the life of me....if you are having any issues in your home or business with paranormal, there are so many other FREEEEEE non-profit groups....Check them out, support you local groups
NOT just mainstream groups.

Liar

First of you copied Ghost Adventures Crew GAC and used their logo coffin with a cross. Then all of a sudden you've been GTC. You are so pathetic and so desperate to be famous or gain attention as this field sadly does attract a lot of people like this this who feel " if the bald p,umber (TAPS) got to be popular and women maybe I can" you screwed over 2 friends out of cash. You are a abomination to the field. And now YOUR A DEMON TRACKER all of a sudden. You edited your 1st page on the "about me section" as before you NEVER mentioned demons. Then we see a Demon Tracker page. You better watch what you mess with. You need to deal with the fact your not famous, never will be and not among the 10 to 15% of the people in the field who are normal. Sadly now Clergy, Pastors, Demonologists are going to struggle even more as you have now jumped on the "demon/demonology train.

They will steal from you

AUTHOR: Mike - ()

POSTED: Monday, July 01, 2013

GT (Bruce Hutchinson) is the person I dealt with at Ghost Trackers.  When I placed the order over the phone I was told GT was the owner of the company.  When I arrived GT was there and said he owned the whole operation.  When I registered, they took my Credit Card information and said they would put the amount on hold and when I arrived on location I would sign a receipt and they will charge my card. 

I was expecting a VIP tour, with someone video recording and a DVD and etc.  When I got there GT said he was sorry but it was sprinkling so he didn't want this camera crew to come out and get wet.   Then he gave me a $200 hand held video camera to record anything I wanted.  He gave one to my wife as well.  He them took out his tablet and had me sign a receipt for the credit card.  I took pictures and video on my iphone of all of this. 

The tour really was a joke.  He said a little history, but nothing that was described on the website.  We didn't do into a house or anything just looked in windows and didn't see anything.  Then we went to a graveyard where GT did a lot of lying.  Wow look at that.  Oh I feel something... blah blah.  So finally I played a long.  Oh it is warm here and etc.  He also claimed overship of a ghost radar app. 

Afterwards he assured us that he would have our DVD before we left FL.  Excuses started to come in.  Then I noticed the double charge on my credit card.  He assured I would get a refund, and the DVD AND promised our daughter a signed photo of himself.  He played this game for about two weeks and then disconnected his cell phone when he realized I wouldn't just let this go.  I kept calling his office, pretending to be new customers. 

I spoke with Ryan and several others.  I will not list all the names, i'll leave that in the hands of the pros.  I was then told Ryan was fired he was stealing from the company and that I would get a refund within a few weeks.  Weeks turned into month and so forth and still do not have anything.  I just called again as a fake customer and this person told me that GT never owned anything.  Ryan did and they bought the tours from Ryan.  Then he kept going back and forth saying he didn't buy the buisness he just bought the tours.  He then kept trying to protect GT.  Threaten me, that I shouldn't sue because GT has all of FOX behind him.  Contacts claim they have no idea who GT (Bruce) is.  No this wasn't the local fox channel.  He then said GT acted based on what the company told him to do.  When I said, so the company is liable, then he turned it all around.  I said so GT is liable then he turned it back around.  Then he went into telling me a lie about how LLC proctect from lawsuits and that the charges can't be at the felony level.  He is correct 1 charge isn't but he illegally charged 2 charges. 

Nonetheless, this is an illegal company.  I would not trust anyone involved.  I have found multi reports of people that they have stolen from.  Most legit businesses, even if they bought it from someone else, would try to make the customer happy.  Free tour, posters or something.  That's how I can assure you this is a fraud company.  Their whole business is based on people that flow through the Orlando, Kiss area.  Figured most would stop going after them after a few months and then would like and say they have restructured every year.  All this company had to do was prove they purchased it and offered a discount or something to clear their name.  This guy wasn't worried about it at all.

I recommend everyone that has had this expereince to file complaints with their county attornies office.  Police department and write letters to Fox.

#6 UPDATE EX-employee responds

Lies too entire crew for easy free labor and equipment

AUTHOR: Kesks - (United States of America)

POSTED: Sunday, August 14, 2011

"GT" makes numerous false claims. He manipulates his crew, which generally consists of either naive film students or a few of those simply interested in the paranormal, with lies of going to a network in order to get free labor. He also uses this manipulation to acquire free equipment and donation.

Overall, there is just one person making overall decisions, and that is GT. 

Multiple times, as a crew member, I was asked to consistently vote for his website on paranormal top sites. I was asked to lie about certain aspects of things to other crew members. I was expected, as a full time film student at an accelerated college, to edit the twenty-two minute episodes together, compiling hours or footage in just a couple days after the shoot.

He also, at the time I had been working with him, held "Ghost Tracker Certification" courses. He claimed ownership of multiple photos and pieces of paranormal evidence that were evidently not his. He charged even his crew for the certificate to do paranormal investigation. There is and hasn't ever been a Ghost Hunter certificate.

As I began to came to my senses as to what exactly was going on here, I began to want less and less to do with Ghost Tracker TV. Before I completely quit though, he got cold feet and threatened to sue me if I didn't hand over my hard drive with the previous episodes on it. This was my fully paid for property (1 TB Western Digital Drive) , and he threatened to take legal action, telling me I was stealing. Through a surrogate, of course, which is normally the producer he has at the time. To do all the dirty work. 

This was a man who I, a month or so before this incident, thought was a good guy. Overall, he's essentially just a manipulative liar. He even tried to blame his apparent incoming divorce on me, because I couldn't get his show out two days after the investigation that I had attended, while having a sixty-hour school week.

Adressing his "charity" work he does, this is just a stint he does in order to try and get his rather unknown name out there. I had worked in Celebration, Florida one Halloween with him. I was told that we were going to film people on a haunted trail and make dvds to give them. I was never told that I would need to make the DVDs myself, and hand them to the unlucky buyers within just fifteen minutes, as if they'd just come off a roller coaster at Disney.

I don't even believe those people received any of their dvds, which were supposed to be mailed to them. They paid in full for them, which I think was $20 a dvd. 

He'll use his children as a ploy and he's constantly recycling the "professional" crew he has. He isn't paying them. He has them sign a non-notarized contract stating that once they make it national, they will receive pay if they are still working with Ghost Tracker TV. This never happens. He'll lie and slander a crew member he doesn't want around anymore, or whom is getting wise to his not-so-honest tactics.

He might seem like he's helping out your charity, though there is the likely chance he's keeping some on the side. He's threatened that an attorney will be contacting me because I've made a few movements against him, and I keep reminding him that he -can't-. I put in about six months with Ghost Tracker TV and he got me pretty good. I was a freshman in film school when I joined up with GTTV.
 
One thing I must note is that the "private investigator"'s comment was posted the same day as the Ghost Tracker's rebuttal. This leaves me to believe that this is either someone who happened to recieve free services form GT's unpaid, kept in the dark crew, or actually just one of his crew members asked to craft a wonderful lie in support of him. He's asked it of his crew before. Jealousy was noted in their comment, leaving the latter to be expected, as it was a direct and immature way to respond to a fraud claim that actually has legitimate purpose. 

I can nearly guarantee that he'll respond, saying that I"m a thief and, of course, a liar, and even impose another legal threat. And before anyone claims that I -am- stealing, because it was his show, I'd offered for him to send someone to copy the files to an alternate drive. But, of course, he needs to make me the bad guy in this situation. 

He lies and steals from his crew. He lies about evidence. He lies about almost everything, and he's good at getting other people to help lie for them because they think they'll get onto a network. None of this is true. I was told many upon many times "This is the Pilot for SyFy" or "I'm going to meet with producers from SyFy/Fox and show this to them." Of course, lies. 

People working with the Ghost Tracker and his crew might not come off with a bad experience. But they'll be cheated in the end for either made up expense or faked evidence. 

All the crew, however, is completed cheated and used.


If anyone has any questions, I will answer them for you to the best of my knowledge.

Jealous....much?

AUTHOR: vicky - (United States of America)

POSTED: Sunday, September 19, 2010

We have used the Ghost tracker paranormal investigative service.  We are local, licensed private investigators that help out with a 501 (c) (3) charity.  The ghost tracker helps out with the same charity.  We have found both him and his crew to be both extremely professional and reliable. The person who is posting these slanderous messages on this site has obviously never actually done business with them.  His description of the way the service works isn't accurate at all.  This leads me to believe that his view is both tainted and unreliable.  He should actually use the service and then report on his experience. We believe that rude and obnoxious behavior displays both his lack of intelligence and his jealousy.  For an actual professional experience with a paranormal investigator  we recommend the Ghost Tracker and his crew.

Lies

AUTHOR: anonymous - (USA)

POSTED: Friday, September 10, 2010

     In my observation of "GT" (Bruce Hutchinson) I've seen that he is the "master mind" of this shoddy TV Show and his crew probably believes all of the lies he feeds to them.
     In various articles he claims to have been involved with Ghost Hunters, Telemundo, Fox Network, and Syfy. There is NO evidence that this man has ever worked for them or ANY major network. I have a strong suspicion that these people don't even know who he is.

He has done an amazing job spreading lies to make people believe his show is nationally recognized.

.. Not sure exactly who you dealt with, then..

AUTHOR: slaine - (United States of America)

POSTED: Tuesday, June 22, 2010

I'm not sure who you dealt with.. You didn't mention names, either, so I definitely don't know.

But GT just came through my place of business, for the second time in a month. I've talked with them (phone, email, and in-person) every other day for this last month.

Not once; from them calling me up and asking me if they could stop by my workplace's building, to them calling me back after this last time saying "thanks for letting us film, here's when your show will air".. not once did ANYthing dealing with money OR advertisement come up.


From the sound of it.. you calling them and them having no record.. it sounds like your friend had a bogus GT team. I know that sounds incredulous, I can't believe it myself; but the more I think about what it would take to pull that off, the more I realize that it's completely possible.

I've met with each member of the crew. All twenty of our employees have, as well. Even the twenty-seven interviewees have gotten to meet, speak, and spend time with the GT and the crew. Not once was anything negative said, done, or going on. Nothing about owing, nothing about spending, nothing about money. Let alone the fact that they were just plain friendly/nice, and nothing but fun to spend time with.

GT IS FREE. They did not pay us, and most definitely, we did not pay them.

I really think your friend had somebody else film there. The GT site (I just checked after reading through your 'report') is full of people who've had them stop by, and not one of them is talking about payment (from them to GT, or visaversa), or about anything negative in the first place.

GT is a local group, and isn't mainstream. At least not yet. They're going to be on FOX Reality, in the fall; after three years/seasons on local television. To me, that's a big break for them; not that I watch the show (I really couldn't care less about the show; and didn't even know it was a show, until I was contacted by GT).


You might want to do some more research; filing 'reports' like this are incredibly damaging, especially if there aren't any others like it to back it up or support the 'report'. It completely makes all the hard work and positive times/events that have gone on invalid, just because of one complaint/issue.
