>>I'm sure I'm not the only person who's ever had a seemingly random "stranger" do something spectacularly kind or generous for no *apparent* reason...a stranger who made us feel awed or peculiar in their presence.<<

Occam's Razor: Don't look for a complicated, implausible reason when a simple, rational one will do.

Maybe you simply met a benevolent person who merely felt like doing something nice. No need to invoke the Supernatural.

True. Nonetheless, it's nice to be there when they do these things.
