QCD sum rules are used to study the mass spectrum of bottom-charm hybrid $\bar bGc$ systems. The correlation functions and the spectral densities are calculated up to dimension six condensates at leading order of $\alpha_s$ for several $J^P$ quantum numbers. After performing the QCD sum rule analysis, we predict the masses of the $J^P=0^{ -}, 0^{ +}, 1^{ -}, 1^{ +}, 2^{ -}, 2^{ +}$ bottom-charm hybrids. These mass predictions show a similar supermultiplet structure as the bottomonium and charmonium hybrids. Using the QCD sum-rule mass predictions we analyze the possible hadronic decay patterns of the $\bar cGc$, $\bar bGc$ and $\bar bGb$ hybrids including the open-flavour and hidden-flavour mechanisms.
