Natalie Reynolds claims Mike Myers' soul is trapped in $25K costume

Kick streamer and influencer Natalie Reynolds claims that the original costume from the 2003 film ‘The Cat in the Hat’ is haunted. Reynolds purchased the prop at a Propstore auction for approximately $25,000, surpassing the initial estimate of $12,000 to $24,000.

Reynolds has alleged that the soul of actor Mike Myers is trapped inside the costume and claimed an unnamed previous owner warned her not to stare into the mask's eyes. She has since placed the item in a glass display case, describing it as ‘one of the most haunted props in movie history.’

Despite these claims, Myers is alive and recently confirmed plans for a new Austin Powers project. The rumors appear to be part of an internet trend fueled by AI-generated videos of the character, which previously caused alarm in several U.S. cities before being debunked by local police.
