I've really been into the paranormal as long as I can remember, and recently did some research about a local haunting where I live. I make documentary movies and would like to film a ghost investigation on the location of the sitings. So, what kind of equipment do I need in order to investigate? A tape recorder, obviously a camera, etc.

Well, you know the basic hardware needed and why it's used in paranormal investigation. I'd visit the TAPS website and ask if they know of any paranormal groups in your area to contact.
Then, speak to those groups and ask if they'll allow you to film document their investigations and interviews with their crewmembers.
Library research on paranormal study also would help you here as well. And after finishing this documentary project, you'll know what is needed to start your own "Ghost buster" group; what to look for and how to deal with such experiences.

A video camera would be a definete yes. Many things that can not be seen with naked eye can be got on the video camera. Also and untra-sensitive sound recorder, and a program on your computer to change the sound frequency of the usually in audible ghosts voice. (20 hertz usually) Mirrors can help, as they are closley connected with the paranormal and have been for years. I Ching sticks, tarot cards, or an Ouiji board would be great to have if just to show the spirit you mean it no ill will and wish to contact with it.
Both a red light and an ultraviolet light to alter the waves of light perhaps revealing the ghost. A low frequency sound generator. E-field or B-field detectors.
Some of this equipment can be expensive but if you use it all you will definetely find your ghost.

I highly recommend Katharine Ramsland's excellent book "Ghost"--it'll give you a lot of good ideas to spring off from.
A camera and a tape recorder are good basics. If you're willing to put out the cash for it, I'd recommend an EMF detector--spirits tend to give off unusually high levels of electromagnetic activity, often three or four times what a human does and easily twice most electrical equipment. A range thermometer is also nice for detecting cold spots (or, as happened to us once, just watching the reading go haywire). A motion-activated camera is a fun thing to have as well.

A shrink and a mental health exam. I would look at it like this, I had to go outside and it was really dark plus there are wild animals out there. So what do I do? I went back in the house and came back with my spot light. The fear of the unknown sparked my imagination to believe that there was more there than what there really was. Believing in ghosts isn't much different because you have already set your self up for the scare by saying that you think that ghosts are real.

A level head and a healthy dose of skepticism.

a low-frequency sound generator to show that ghosts are produced by low-frequency sounds.

Suspension of disbelief would help.
So would a certain amount of naiveté.
