Chad Calek and Ryan Buell might find coal in their
stockings this Christmas due to the fallout of American Ghost Hunter-Gate.
Anyone who's had the misfortune to have viewed Paranormal State will recognize the name
Chad Calek. Angelenos who've never seen a single episode will spot him around
the city as much as they do chronically unemployed actor Dennis Woodruff [who
now makes his own movies]. Yes, Chad likes to run around promoting himself and has
memorized his acceptance speech for the Oscar that he feels he'll be winning.
When Chad joined Paranormal
State, Ryan told viewers that Chad was brought onto the team because of his
unique ghost hunting skills. What's unique about them? Chad employs the yelling
at ghosts strategy. However, what Ryan didn't tell the viewer is that Chad was
going to take the show to yet lower levels of deception during the filming of
the episodes. Chad directed several episodes having a heavy hand in trick shots
and fake stories.
Like most greedy folks hungry for fame and money, Chad
was never happy. He took deceptive practices to a new level, hoping to become
the next major horror director. At the same time the band of merry followers at
American Ghost Hunters tried to get
interest in anther show: The Ghost Prophecies.
But that failed. Chad and Ryan then put together a mockumentary called American Ghost Hunter the Movie, which
they shopped around Hollywood. It was either rejected or the offers they
received didn't match the dollar signs in their eyes.
The intrepid pair took the show on the road going from
town to town charging fans to see it in meeting rooms and small venues. That
was a lot of work. Instead of going the traditional distribution route, they got
the bright idea: let's sell the damn thing to the public ourselves and make
more money!
Encouraging fans to preorder American Ghost Hunter The Movie, they failed to deliver it when it
was scheduled. Of course, Ryan and Chad are master excusers, blaming everything
short of the pope and Justin Beiber for the DVD not to be delivered to the
paying customers. They also claim the warehouse [somebody’s garage] is running
full force.

wish you well always but I am getting anxious. I was one who ordered the movie
early on and have not gotten it. I've seen your video and have been patient but
starting to get concerned. Then there is the announcement on the American Ghost
Hunter Film Facebook Page 1. American Ghost Hunter The Movie shared a link.

Hey Ryan D. Buell, where's your video update regarding the shipment of
the AGH DvD's? It appears that is has disappeared from your wall. Coincidence?
I think not. Rest easy, though, as I am sure that Chad's "Worldwide
Distribution System" strategically located in the "Warehouse"
will eventually get around to filling all the orders they have taken. Question,
has Chad paid you yet? If not, you might call and make sure your are on the
list to get paid. Oh wait, you can't call. Well, post on his page and maybe he
will answer you.
Some have even put together a YouTube video about this:
After a lot of fuss, some people received their DVD's –
but they are unwatchable. Why? Apparently, those working in the shipping department
don't understand how to do something as "complicated" as sending out
DVD's. Customers are getting scratched DVD's or the cases are broken. Those
ordering autographed copies aren't getting them autographed. Requests for
replacements go unanswered.
I am no fan of Ryan's or Chad's. I refuse to drink the
Kool-Aid and have exposed them for the cons that they are. But there is a following
that hasn't and they still deserve to be treated fairly and with respect--two
words that are foreign to Ryan and Chad.

AGH was so disappointing, no paranormal, just Chad's dysfunctional family and some really bad acting. Shame, shame, shame on all of them!
I STILL have not gotten my DVD and I ordered on May 25th.. I am only a member of the Damned and Banned Group.. Earlier Chad Tweeted "even the mean ones were getting theirs.." Also "the costumer is NOT always right"... Hard to swallow!

I am happy to say that I have gotten a few messages from people who bought American Ghost Hunter The Movie & Paypal is giving them there money back for DVD's they never received or were received broken.
Even though Chad & AGH refuse to admit they screwed many people.
Not only will Paypal be going after Chad & AGH the State of CA is also now involved. I am glad to see people are finally taking a stand. It's our money not matter if it's $5.00 or $5.000 we all work for it just cause they are or were on TV don't mean there any better than anyone of us.
My advise do your home work before you pay for any event or merchandise mostly in the paranormal field
