Mistaking him for Fatty in disguise, Ern reports the incident to Mr Goon, who promptly forbids the children from solving any more mysteries. Far from deterred, the Find‑Outers concoct a clever ruse—fabricating tales of kidnappers and robbers on Christmas Hill to lure Mr Goon and Ern into investigating a fake mystery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"988\" data-end=\"1600\"\u003eAmid the shenanigans, Ern mistakenly stumbles onto a real mystery near Harry’s Folly, where eerie voices, footsteps, and flickering lights spark genuine intrigue. The children initially doubt Ern's claims, but Fatty soon dresses as Ern to investigate. When Ern is captured by criminals at Harry’s Folly, the Find‑Outers spring into action, coordinating with Inspector Jenks. The next morning, he dispatches six police cars, rescues Ern, and the case is neatly wrapped up—Ern even agrees to destroy a rude poem Fatty wrote about Mr Goon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"1607\" data-end=\"1653\"\u003eAbout the Author –\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1655\" data-end=\"2083\"\u003eEnid Mary Blyton was born on August 11, 1897, in East Dulwich, London, and spent much of her childhood in nearby Beckenham, Kent.
