We study an application of gaggle theory to unary negative modal operators. First we treat negation as impossibility and get a minimal logic system Ki that has a perp semantics. Dunn's kite of different negations can be dealt with in the extensions of this basic logic Ki. Next we treat negation as "unnecessity" and use a characteristic semantics for different negations in a kite which is dual to Dunn's original one. Ku is the minimal logic that has a characteristic semantics. We also show that Shramko's falsification logic F L can be incorporated into some extension of this basic logic Ku. Finally, we unite the two basic logics Ki and Ku together to get a negative modal logic K−, which is dual to the positive modal logic K+ in [7]. Shramko has suggested an extension of Dunn's kite and also a dual version in [12]. He also suggested combining them into a "united" kite. We give a united semantics for this united kite of negations.
