视频简介
American psychologist John Holden arrives in London to participate in a symposium aiming to expose witchcraft and devil-worship as a fraud, with attention centered on a cult run by a Julian Karswell. Debarking his plane, Holden learns that the symposium leader, Henry Harrington, has suddenly died and he is now in charge. What only the audience knows is that Harrington was clearly killed by a demon, apparently summoned by Karswell to avenge his persecution. Despite both threatening and cajoling behavior by Karswell, Holden determines to proceed, though the only cult member willing to talk about his experiences is in a prison psychiatric ward, catatonic after allegedly killing yet another cult member. However, Harrington's niece, Joanna, believes, based on her uncle's notes, that Karswell may indeed have some satanic powers derived from an ancient tome in an obscure language which he has been able to translate, and attempts to warn the skeptic Holden. Karswell's mother also attempts to warn Holden off. However, the thing which begins to most get to Holden are the occasional, but mounting, sensory and mental disturbances he begins experiencing after an encounter with Karswell, and the discovery that, during this encounter, Karswell secretly slipped a slip of parchment with a curse in runic symbols on it into Holden's belongings, a parchment identical to one Harrington recorded having had passed to him in a similar manner shortly before his death... [N.B. Holden at no point stays at the Karswell estate].。明朝湖北蕲州，李月池、李时珍因医术高超而闻名遐迩。包乡绅用错误的《本草书》看病、卖假药，李时珍直言不讳地指出，得罪了他。李时珍治好了楚王的儿子，不要钱财官位，而是求楚王上奏皇上重修“本草”。进入太医院的李时珍因不满太医院的傲慢迂腐，辞职回乡决心自己修正“本草”。百姓得知此事，纷纷献出家藏秘方来支持他。李时珍为验证草药功效，与徒弟庞宪走遍四处寻觅，亲自采集草药，并得到当地药农的热心帮助。一次，李时珍等人遇到恶道刁难，珍贵的药物笔记被烧毁，追随他的郎中老魏也为抢救笔记不幸摔死。但李时珍没有放弃，又重新搜集草药，补写笔记。随后，李时珍又用几年时间将笔记整理成书，名为《本草纲目》。但此书几经波折均未能面世，直至李时珍死后三年，这本凝聚了李时珍三十年心血的伟大药物学著作终于被刻版印出，流传万世，造福于民。。本系列节目聚焦于船只及其乘员在灾难降临时所经历的生死瞬间。通过亲历者的口述，揭示了这些悲剧背后的人性故事。。
