Some of the most popular spots like Eastern State, Waverly Hills etc., have regular events you can get your team into. There is a cost however but some offer public and private tours. The Whaley House also provides this (http://whaleyhouse.org/events.htm). Unfortunately in our field there are groups/individuals who do not know how to conduct themselves professionally along with dealing with skepticism as well as some thinking that having a reputation for being haunted is bad for business, sometimes getting permission can be rather daunting. I don't know if there is a better solution than being professional, polite and a little persistent in your pursuit. One example for us would be a Civil War Battlefield in the area. We have visited during proper hours, staying until the last minute. We took the Park Ranger Tour and eventually struck up a conversation about what we were doing. We were told that the head ranger in which we would have to go through to investigate this section at night was a real skeptic and good luck trying. There is an old field hospital on the site, the ranger was right and we are still trying to get permission to go inside at night. What we did get, I think by being polite, professional and showing interest, after a couple more visits was permission to hang around the outside of the building after dark as long as we wanted as long as we didn't mess with the building (or set of its alarm). We did that evening and got some interesting EVPS. Hopefully this is one more step into getting inside. There are many ways to go about investigating places like these.
