Weird Legend
A legend says that 200 years ago a man sailed from Madagascar to Paraguay. The man used a sailboat made out of wood from maple trees that grew on his island. The man used the north star to navigate at night and he ate lobsters to survive. Once he reached Paraguay, his boat sank and his ghost lives near the wreckage.

Yeah, easy but fun.
I think you needed to throw one statement in there that was possible in order to make the answers less obvious. By the time I got to the end of reading it I'd already identified the problem with each statement.

I didn't know any of these but I guessed them all and got them right. good one.
Good teaser. I thought that ghosts can't "live" as the fourth one. I should have remembered Paraguay isn't water-accesible.

Thanks, that was fun! I too thought ghosts (supposedly the essence of people who have died), couldn't be said to "live" somewhere.
I knew half, and guessed the rest, thanks!
Not hard, even with guessing, but still not bad.
