We have carried out torsional oscillator experiments on solid He-4 at temperatures between 1.3 K and 1.9 K. We discovered phenomena similar to those observed at temperatures below 0.2 K, which currently are under debate regarding their interpretation in terms of supersolidity. These phenomena include a partial decoupling of the solid helium mass from the oscillator, a change of the dissipation, and a velocity dependence of the decoupled mass. These were all observed both in the bcc and hcp phases of solid He-4. The onset of this behavior is coincidental with the creation of crystalline disorder but does not depend strongly on the crystalline symmetry or on the temperature.
